Weather Tech Super Bowl Dog Scout Dies at Age 7

Scout, the golden retriever that was featured in February’s Super Bowl ad for Weather Tech passed away at the age of 7. Scout was the star of his own Super Bowl commercial, which was a thank you to the vets who saved him. Scout’s owner paid six-million dollars for a 30-second spot. Weather Tech CEO David MacNeil wanted to highlight his pup’s journey and raise money for the University of Wisconsin’s veterinary program.

“In the last couple of weeks the cancer tumors started to bleed around his heart and around his lungs. The doctors were able to stop the bleeding for a while, but his body became anemic and weak,” the announcement of Scout’s death read on his Instagram Page. Here’s the complete story from the Patch.
